Beautiful flies. Haretron has always been one of my favorite dubbings. That hen Silver Badger is really nice stuff. Great work. ;)

OH MAN, those are great! I love the look of the orange dubbing version. That has GOT to be a killer fly. I'm going to crank some of these out for my fall steelhead box. Watch out fish, Wayne is at it again.

The orange ones look very similar to Syl Nemes' version of a soft hackled salmonfly, DUBBN, and very nicely tied too. They will be killers when those big stoneflies are about.

The recipe came from letumgo. It's his pattern. I'm just the guy that uses em. They will be killer when the October caddis make an appearance in a month or so.
